Help! I have tissue all over

my favourite black jumper Sad Angry

I am blaming DD1 she always leaves tissues in her pockets.

But how do I get it off without spending hours picking off bits of fluff

Sellotape? Wrap it around your hand? Get DD1 to spend hours picking bits of fluff off? Grin

Try wrapping sellotape around your hand, sticky side up, and defluff.

Or gently rubbing the surface of the jumper whilst wearing a rubber glove.

If I stick it straight back in the machine do you think it would come off

No

Get a lint roller - it will have it off in a jiffy.

Sticky ones!

Chipping that is NOT what I wanted to hear Grin Wink

Clothes brush?

Sorry!!

Hope you have it all off by now!

I did the same this week. I had my friends wee girl this week for a couple of days and she was really poorly & had a runny nose so I'd tucked a couple of tissues in my pocket.... and forgot to take them out! Bugger. Fortunately all the stuff in the machine was like cargo pants/leggings/knickers so most of it shook off - all over the floor mind you, and will fall off when it's dry - so no biggie, just another thing to hoover up!

If you can tumble it, that's effective.

mousymouse · 08/05/2011 20:35

have you got a tumble dryer?
I had it once and it worked a treat, I was able to just shake off the white fluff.

bustersmummy · 08/05/2011 20:36

The stuff is still a bit damp so I'll stick it in a low tumble (it also got on black leggings)

Cross your fingers
